啟示錄 21
1 ，我看見了一個新天新地，因為先前的天與先前的地已不見了，海也沒有了。
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more;
2 我看見那新耶路撒冷聖城，從天上由天主那裏降下，就如一位裝飾好迎接自己丈夫的新娘。
and I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband;
3 我聽見由寶座那裏有一巨大聲音說：「這就是天主與人同在的帳幕，他要同他們住在一起；他們要作他的人民，他親自要『與他們同在，』作他們的天主；
and I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God [is] with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them [as] their God,
4 他要拭去他們眼上的一切淚痕；以後再也沒有死亡，再也沒有悲傷，沒有哀號，沒有苦楚，因為先前的都已過去了。」
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor will there be anymore pain, because the first things passed away.”
5 那位坐在寶座上的說：「看，我已更新了一切。」又說：「你寫下來！因為這些話都是可信而真實的。」
And He who is sitting on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new”; and He says to me, “Write, because these words are true and steadfast”;
6 他又給我說：「已完成了！我是「阿耳法」和「敖默加，」元始和終末。我要把生命的水白白地賜給口渴的人喝。
and He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsting, I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 勝利者必要承受這些福分：我要作他的天主，他要作我的兒子。
The [one] who is overcoming will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.
9 那拿著七個滿盛最後七種災禍盂的七位天使，其中有一位來告訴我說：「你來！我要把羔羊的淨配新娘指給你看。」
And one of the seven messengers, having the seven bowls that are full of the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb,”
10 天使就使我神魂超拔，把我帶到一座又大又高的山上，將那從天上，由天主那裏降下的聖城耶路撒冷，指給我看。
and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,
11 這聖城具有天主的光榮；城的光輝，好似極貴重的寶石，像水晶那麼明亮的蒼玉；
having the glory of God, and her light—like a most precious stone, as a jasper stone clear as crystal,
12 城牆高而且大，有十二座門，守門的有十二位天使，門上寫著以色列子民十二支派的名字。
also having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are [those] of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel—
13 東面三門，北面三門，南面三門，西面三門。
at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates;
14 城牆有十二座基石，上面刻著羔羊的十二位宗徒的十二個名字。
and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 同我談話的那位天使拿著金蘆葦測量尺，要測量那城、城門和城牆。
And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall;
16 城是四方形的，長寬相同。天使用蘆葦測量尺測量了那城，共計一萬二千「斯塔狄，」長、寬、高都相等；
and the city lies square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed—twelve thousand stadia; the length, and the breadth, and the height of it are equal.
17 又測量了城牆，有一百四十四肘；天使用的，是人的尺寸。
And he measured its wall—one hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger;
18 城牆是用水蒼玉建造的，城是純金的，好像明淨的玻璃。
and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city [is] pure gold—like to pure glass.
19 城牆的基石，是用各種寶石裝飾的：第一座基石是水蒼玉，第二座是藍玉，第三座是玉髓，第四座是翡翠，
And the foundations of the wall of the city have been adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
20 第五座是赤瑪瑙，第六座是斑瑪瑙，第七座是橄欖石，第八座是綠柱石，第九座是黃玉，第十座是綠玉，第十一座是紫玉，第十二座是紫晶。
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21 十二座門是十二種珍珠，每一座門是由一種珍珠造的；城中的街道是純金的，好似透明的玻璃。
And the twelve gates [are] twelve pearls, each one of the gates respectively was of one pearl; and the street of the city [is] pure gold—as transparent glass.
22 在城內我沒有看見聖殿，因為上主全能的天主和羔羊就是她的聖殿。
And I did not see a temple in it, for the LORD God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.
23 那城也不需要太陽和月亮光照，因為有天主的光榮照耀她；羔羊就是她的明燈。
And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God lightens it, and the lamp of it—the Lamb;
24 萬民都要藉著她的光行走，世上的君王也要把自己的光榮帶到她內。
and the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it,
25 她的門白日總不關閉，因為那裏已沒有黑夜。
and its gates will never be shut by day, for night will not be there;
26 萬民都要把自己的光榮和財富運到她內。
and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it;
27 凡不潔淨、行可恥的事及撒謊的，絕對不得進入她內；只有那些記載在羔羊生命冊上的，纔得進入。
and there may never enter into it anything defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, if not those written in the Lamb’s Scroll of Life.
